Craven Faults – Erratics & Unconformities
The Brian Jonestown Massacre – s/t. Popped up on YouTube after the Auteurs. Don’t think I’ve ever knowingly heard a BJM album, but this, from 2019, was actually rather good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmfBJsWWnIo
The Auteurs – After Murder Park. Start of the year, so a chance to revisit a few old favourites. Here’s Luke Haines, the eternal ghost at the Britpop feast, with one of the best albums of the 90s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4i9100QooY&list=OLAK5uy_k9hPllT2dgwDDlI7c4SvIRJYyvGvkiOas
Godflesh – Slavestate. Hey, great riff, let’s nick it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra9bprHxcqE
Robert Calvert – Test Tube Conceived. His last, and once again, I don’t think I appreciated at the time just how good this was. Definitely due a reappraisal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmaOKDJ4KBA
King Crimson – Discipline. One of the great (and relatively) unheralded art rock albums of the 80s
Eloy – Ocean. Yes, I’m on record as saying this is one of the funniest albums ever released, but… it’s actually Euro prog heaven in places: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI8b6GQ5C80&t=5s
Neil Ardley – Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows. Brit jazz/prog guy who I have to plead complete ignorance of, but this was perfectly pleasant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgdfA4YJWP0
